Make 12 cigar-shaped portions with the meat mixture and place each kebab on a skewer.

4

Grill the kebabs for approximately 5 minutes per side on your BBQ or in the grill pan. The kebabs can also be baked in the oven. The kebabs are cooked when the internal temperature reads 160°F (approximately 12 minutes).
